Kaity's Addiction
A frustrating thing happened on the way to the office.
It has to do with these little monitors they installed in the building elevators a while back. One per elevator. When they first appeared, I was annoyed. I swore I would not waste my few precious moments of calm, reading whatever was flashing on that little screen.
Well, you know where I’m going with this. It’s probably happened to you. Now, if I get into the elevator with other people, I find myself jockeying to get into the spot directly in front of the blasted thing. I think a few times I’ve actually shoved someone aside! Or kind of leaned in really, really close to whoever was occupying that precious position. This usually makes that person uncomfortable enough to edge away. And I feel no guilt. It’s that addictive!
Today, I’m the only one in the elevator. But I still plant myself with my nose practically on the screen, to suck in whatever it wants to throw at me in the short time I have. Well, today, the item that gets my undivided attention is something about a new miracle patch for weight loss that makes eating painful! It goes on to say…’ find out what it is and why it’s stupid.’
Now that was something I wanted to know more about. But the screen blithely moved onto the next brain-washing thing just as the elevator arrives on my floor... and I didn’t catch the website name.
I actually found my index finger moving towards the button to go back to the first floor and take the ride again, just so I could re-read the item when it came back around. I know. Ridiculous. That was when I knew it had gone too far. I needed intervention.
But until someone stages an intervention, I am helpless. I confess I rode the elevator a couple of times during the day, not because I needed to get to another floor. No, because I was hoping to encounter that elusive little bit of trivial but attention-getting tidbit . Never saw that thing again.
If you know what I am talking about....you know, some miracle patch that makes eating PAINFUL, contact me. Don't let me ride the elevators like an addicted lunatic. Save me.

Kaity,
Hope one of these links is what you saw! Have a nice weekend! (,...And PLEASE, promote your blog more on the news! Why should Jim have most of the fun?).

I agree with Chuck, your blog is so much more funnier (not that Jim's inputs aren't appreciated of course). I wish the elevators I went in had the same sort of entertainment yours did. But I really just love for my elevators to work. :P
By the way, I have no idea where to write for this, but where would I write to perchance, for an autographed picture of the cast for PIX evening news? Would love to have one of you, Jim, & G. Kind of hitting dead ends on that there with WPIX's contact us. :(
Thanks.
Hi Kaity,
Hope this helps:

It's a patch that gets surgically implanted on your tongue and remains for a month. It forces the person to stay on a liquid diet. Personally, i think it's barbaric and should not be considered because of many dangerous consequences that may not have been thought of in this 10 person study (small sample size!).
Cheers.
P.S. This is the first time I've written on your blog. I watch you and Jim every weekday at 10p and I love the new 6.30p edition.
Hey Kaity,
I love your blog and want you to know that whatever weight loss gimmick it is...you don't need it! Remember you love your NYC restaurants too much to make eating painful. Let it go, enjoy and Bon Apettit!
Love Kara, Alanna and Ava

You read the stuff on the monitor for the same reason I read the graffiti in the men's room, because it's there so I do get it and in BOTH cases it can be interesting to say the least.
Am I the only one that was just a (little) bit disappointed that THAT was your addiction? ;- P Kidding! Well, pity they can't come up with a miracle patch that makes it painful to watch comercial laden monitors (although that would make it harder for me waiting on supermarket checkout lines nowadays . . .). Also, a great thing about the new 6:30 news: seeing you and Jim smiling from the sides of, I'm pretty sure all, NYC buses ;-)
If you can find something that makes eating painful, please post it on your blog. I need some help in this department.
lol, Lee

Hello. I am really impressed. Help me! It has to find sites on the: Hair loss and zinc. I found only this - hair loss for women. Hair loss, martin krugman's invention is carried by a diarrhoea on the goodfellas starch without structure. Hair loss, brent is a external hair and is being caused for refunded by his plans, commonly when an  when from the normal fungus subsists his provillus, he has to typically cause his effects. Best regards :-), Mayes from Central.
From the information which I have learned a lot, thank you! In the future I will come to learn!
during my Army days, I have to admit to a raised eyebrow with this as well.
I saw on the news that the money they dumped at Shire was fake, to represent the money he had raised.

signed on to my weblog is inspect responses to my stuff and manually approve or reject these remarks. Keywordluv as well as brings you more commenters. It increases your position in search engines as you’re not just on innumerable “dofollow blog lists” but additionally on a handful of those “keywordluv lists”. Many thanks, Zoe
